Through recent additions to the rombios the code section of the post
function has filled up considerably. When I enable the BX_TCGBIOS
compile time option the BIOS crashes since the post section code (starts
at $e05b) spills over into the nmi entry point (starts at $e2c3). as86
doesn't cause an error when building.

With this option is enabled there are now 12 bytes free ($e2b7 -
$e2c2) ...
